The Discussion

The ActiveX is just for the antipiracy thing. Install it once via IE and then you can download the software using whatever you want. And you shouldn't need to install the ActiveX after you've installed it once, as I understand it.

I've never used the earlier versions of Photo Story, but I was very impressed with this release. It looks nice, it's very easy to use, and the finished videos look really cool with the Ken Burns effect.

Hi.
I tried Photo Story and I like it. I started watching the demo first, but just jumped in and had a story going pretty quick. Nice Interface.

I emailed my stories to somebody though and they couldn't be played because a codec needed to be installed. This was on XP. I would have expected a box to pop up and a simple "Yes" answer would have downloaded and installed the codec.

Photostory 3 is great. The onlyl thing is it needs updated like ounce every couple of months with new features/transitions ect. Also the insertion of audio when speaking leaves something to be desired. If you use your computers mic to record you cant watch
the show as you talk so syncing a voice comment to a specific card is difficult.

Actually, are you sure that you're doing this right? I get a little "talk bubble" icon near each slide I record a narration for. Synching is easy because i have a separate one for each slide. I can even re-record or delete a specific narration.
